Surname

Coppengrave's old names are 1400 Kobbengraff , 1414 Kobbengraf , 1426 Cobbengraff , 1462 Coppengraven , 1471 Kobbengraff , 1478 Cobbengraven and 1499 Kobbengraue .

The place name is a compound. The evidence of the place name show forms such as "-graff, -graf, -graven" in the basic word. These have nothing to do with the nobility title “Graf”, because the forms with “-a-” apply above all in High German, but not in Low German , which must be used first and foremost for the place name. It is Middle Low German, Low German "grave" and means "dig". The location of the village in the Hille valley confirms this connection. In the first part there is - as in Coppenbrügge - an old Germanic name for “mountain, mountain peak”, ancient Germanic “kuban-, koban-”, Middle High German “kuppe” for “top, summit”, early New High German “koppe” for “mountain top, tree top ". “Head” also means “the top of a mountain”; at the end of the day, “Kuppe” also belongs here, also the “Schneekoppe”. Coppenbrügge should therefore be understood as “mountain bridge, bridge on the mountain” and “Coppengrave” as “hill moat, mountain ditch”.

Along with Bengerode, the place was one of the places in the region where earthenware was made in the Middle Ages .

Foundation of the coat of arms: The choice of colors and symbols was based on the history of the village. The origin of the village can certainly be traced back to the 13th century. Since that time, wood (the village is located in the wooded valley between Hils and Duinger Berg) and clay have formed the basis of life for the village, although this landscape is still called “in the Pottlanne” to this day. The location in the forest and the livelihood “wood” are represented by the green spruce on a green hill. The livelihood of clay is represented by the red shield color. The golden long vase shows the processing of the clay. The products created in ancient times and now create the community's prosperity.
